ESPN Finally Allows Fernando Vina To Speak About Mitchell Report
SPORTSbyBROOKS — ESPN ANALYST FINALLY GIVEN CHANCE TO DISCUSS HGH: When the Mitchell Report came out last Thursday, one of the names named was Fernando Vina, former player and current baseball analyst for ESPN. However, on the day the report was released, the Worldwide Leader neglected to quiz their employee ...

Fernando Vina’s HGH Use : All About The Healing
Can't Stop The Bleeding — I’ll give Andy Pettitte F.P. Santangelo this much credit : his admission of PED use following the release of the Mitchell Report has made it a bit easier for other players to come out the closet (after they’ve been outed, natch), and along with Brian Roberts, you can add ESPN’s Fernando Vina to the new list of those confessing to something-or-other. You’ll note that Vina insists he wasn’t trying to “gain an edge”, much as Pettitte claimed his two-off HGH experiment was only motivated by wanting to help his ...

ESPN’s Fernando Vina Confirms HGH Use, Denies Steroids
The Big Lead — Why not just admit to using both? Because HGH is “ok” since players used it to heal faster, but steroids are bad because they pump you up and have a terrible stigma? Brian Roberts of the Orioles - when you see this guy up close, he’s got Popeye arms - has admitted to using steroids so Vina and Rocket and the rest of these frauds should just do the same. Hopefully, nobody is buying this, ‘I used it once’ bunk … put yourself in their shoes - you use it, you don’t get caught, and slowly, your numbers skyrocket (please take a ...

Fernando Vina Responds to Mitchell Report, Says Something
JoeSportsFan.com — Thanks to the magic of Youtube, Internet outlets across the globe are starting to realize that they no longer control their own video content.  Try as they might to deter it, someone will post something of their's on Youtube.  Instead of continually clamping down, some of the outlets are starting to catch on and create their own video.  Cheers to ESPN and the folks in Bristol for doing just that.  For without ESPN, we wouldn't get to show the great Mustachioids of JoeSportsFan Fernando Vinarunning circles around Bob Ley's solid questions.  As one JSF colleague noted to me in a corporate email, "Vina is ...

Fernando Vina Admits HGH Use, Denies Steroids
FanIQ Blog — Anyone noticing what's going to be an annoying trend for the next several months. Players admitting to HGH and then trying to come off as the good guy because "they were just trying to get healthy" and better yet asking for our sympathy because "they felt bad about doing it." Fernando Vina spoke with Bob Ley last night and admitted to the HGH claim in the Mitchell report, but denied any use of steroids which was also a claim of the investigation. "I tried everything rehabbing," he said. "I came to a point ...

Mitchell Report: The Aftermath
SOX & Dawgs — With the release of the Mitchell Report last Thursday, everyone was awaiting the words of the players who were named in the report. I think we all knew there would be some admissions and a lot of denials about their alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs. The biggest name in the Mitchell Report was Roger Clemens. When the report came out, Clemens’ lawyer, Rusty Hardin, issued a statement saying that Roger had never used steroids or HGH. And on Tuesday afternoon, Clemens issued a statement through his agent Randy Hendricks. “I want to state clearly and without qualification: I ...
